Advanced Features, Reliability, Scalability Drive Product Selection

The importance of top-tier reliability and system recovery capabilities was driven home to Ochsner executives during Hurricane Katrina. Although the hospital system served patients throughout that crisis, it was clear that advanced recovery and system rollback facilities are critical for applications running in the Ochsner environment. “As a result, Ochsner was looking for an AP system that provides a complete workflow solution as well as a high degree of reliability and enterprise-wide scalability so they can deliver results 24×7,” said Michael Mihalik, Pathview Vice President of Sales.

“Progeny takes advantage of leading-edge technologies to deliver a rich set of advanced features such as integrated two-dimensional barcoding and flexible, graphical interfaces,” Mihalik said. “And, the InterSystems CACHÉ database that is Progeny’s foundation provides capabilities like clustering and database shadowing that ensure application resiliency as well as scalability across the entire organization. As a result, it’s clear that CACHÉ-based Progeny is the optimal choice for Ochsner.”

“We appreciate the opportunity to leverage CACHÉ, the leading database in healthcare applications, in order to provide Ochsner with an application that is the right match for their AP system requirements,” Mihalik continued. “Pathview customers such as the GroupHealth healthcare system have already found that CACHÉ-based Progeny offers enterprise-scale performance and scalability combined with top-tier AP features. We know that Ochsner will be very pleased with its new AP application.”

“Pathview offers an AP application that is recognized by healthcare providers for its innovative and easily accessible capabilities,” said Paul Grabscheid, InterSystems Vice President of Strategic Planning. “They illustrate the commitment of our application partners to delivering the best possible applications on the InterSystems CACHÉ database platform.”
